What about the crazy preconception that she somehow went from pasty to mocha thru the use of solar power.

She does have impressionable fans ya know

we are all equal people it does not matter here to be racist on the web site it is good pop this is the big deal

I don’t think ari has toxic or racist intentions, she’s just spoiled and culturally ignorant.

Honestly her spoiled rich girl schtick is much more annoying than her style choices.

a fun pop cd and she is not racist person like donald haha. i hope i can meet ariana on a day

Lol what kind of light exactly do you think tanning beds use?

Also I still think the idea that a certain shade of tan on a black and white spectrum marks a definitive ethnicity is way more culturally ignorant than going to a tanning salon.

I suppose my guy.

To kind of break down your point, do you think anyone should be able to lighten/darken their skin to any tone because “it’s not a perfect indicator of race?” Like I said, it’s an arbitrary line that she crossed 25 shades ago.

Not that skin color has much to do with culture but just kind of using your word choices against you for the sake of sounding extra surely

what is a social construct

review is great even if I disagree with everything you said

@noler I think intention is an important distinction for that question. Like that lady who got plastic surgery for black features and darker skin and identifies as black is different than someone who just is really tan, artificially or not.

Do you guys typical care about lyrical content in pop music, jw, or is it just like the overall package that you like

Catchiness and good production are generally what I like, not so much lyrics.

Album Rating: 3.5

it is good on a pop cd for good pop to have a good beat... words that are good is nice too it is some thing where you want songs on the cd to make you tap your feet a bit.... mess around a bit and sing a long to the words. you just have to here it haha. ariana on this cd is good no matter what skin color it does not matter

Lyrics on a pop album should be vague and as inclusive as possible, if it fills that roll the lyrics have done their job. When evaluating a pop album I look at the whole package, balanced with the performance of the person who’s name is on the cover.

@nolan u got me goin on it hard now. I think politics, respect, and discernment are crucial too. In general I think as a long term goal the obscuring of racial boundaries is a good thing but there is a right place and a right time and right method for that. Some people are rightfully more sensitive than others based on recent history and the motivations of the cultural appropriation of others. I'm at work but I'll elaborate when I can

I like lyrical quality in Pop Music, but if it is just catchy, Pop is the only genre where I let it get away with it.
